I would like to correct 5, it’s a tie between Steven’s, who is fantastic, but also Julián the Mermaid

So a bunch of gilded but decaying hands all grasping for a piece of the planet? Has anybody checked on the writers for this season?

I cropped OP’s username, I don’t want them dunked on, please do not track them down.

However, I hear this A LOT.

What you might not know is that, esp in certain regions, (hi, Northeast US!) there’s a good chance your library IS a non profit

It sucks

One of the perks of librarianship is that stickers just kind of… accumulate

This is also Ms. Wilhelmina Murray-Harker!!

Okay I didn’t have time today to say this when it came up, but about the allegations that there is photographic evidence of Trump performing fellatio on Clinton….

(Yall are putting me back on my information literacy bullshit)

This is Ninja, a sweet and gentle ladylike sort of soul, who, after passing, sent me a little black kitten who was her mirror image in every way… except for being an incurable chaos goblin with no idea how to cat. Just in case I didn’t already miss her enough

If it makes you feel any better…

This is Donut the Library Dragon

(Storytime book feats Duncan the Dragon, who looks nothing like this dragon, and so when I told my friend about it they named him Donut. He is my baby and I love him)

Every night, Mina sits at the head of the bed and waits very loudly until I lay on my stomach with a book propped in front of me so she can squirm under the book and take a nap while I read. I don’t get it, but it makes her happy

You know, I specifically went to look at medieval drawings of cats because I wanted to see if there were body language cues I would recognize from a modern cat and I didn’t really see any? I did see one of a cat Where They Were Not Supposed To Be so I feel like they would have common interests

May I offer you a Mina in these trying times?

First off, that’s probably an AI background (dawn cityscape with a child on a bike, watercolor adjacent). Not conclusive, but I also can’t pin down an actual location from it

Also 86k followers and 80 following. This is extremely rare outside of a celebrity account, this makes no pretensions as one

Hi. I don’t want to write cover letters so I’m going to debunk an alleged truth social post so everybody can see what I’m doing ( #alttextforme please, it’s a spicy day)
September 10, 2025 at 3:29 PM
That’s what I tell Mina when I leave for work, although I had in mind Rura Penthe
